Colorado Bear Attacks Surge This Year | Colorado Springs News

Another bear attack shook Colorado this weekend — a 60-pound female bear ambushed a senior angler near the North Fork trail, biting his legs before friends scared her off. This marks the sixth reported bear incident in Colorado this year, nearly doubling last year’s total and heading toward a record since digital tracking began in 2019. Bears are growing bolder, with sightings popping up in Aspen, Eagle-Vail, and even one trapped in a car in Colorado Springs. Officials later euthanized the attacking bear — no cubs found — but the message is clear: secure trash, never feed bears, keep grills clean, make noise if you spot one, and fight back if attacked. Safety isn’t optional when humans and bears share space. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
